ISO 21004:2006 specifies the general requirements and the performance requirements for multilayer pipes based on thermoplastics intended to be used for water supply outside buildings, for buried water mains and services and for water supplies above ground. ISO 21004:2006 gives guidance for the design of piping systems consisting of multilayer pipes based on thermoplastics or, for which at least 60 % of the wall thickness is polymeric material, and the inner layer in contact with water is made of polymeric material. The polymeric layers used for the stress-bearing layers are selected from polybutylene (PB), polyethylene (PE), crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X), polypropylene (PP), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) and unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U). ISO 21004:2006 is applicable to piping systems used for the conveyance under pressure of cold water (up to approximately 20 °C) for drinking. It is also applicable to piping systems for the conveyance of water (up to and including 40 °C) for general purposes.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21004 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 21004:2006(E)

Plastics piping systems — Multilayer pipes and their joints,
based on thermoplastics, for water supply
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the general requirements and the performance requirements for
multilayer pipes based on thermoplastics intended to be used for water supply outside buildings, for buried
water mains and services and for water supplies above ground.
It gives guidance for the design of piping systems consisting of multilayer pipes based on thermoplastics or,
for which at least 60 % of the wall thickness is polymeric material, and the inner layer in contact with water is
made of polymeric material.
The polymeric layers used for the stress-bearing layers are selected from polybutylene (PB), polyethylene
(PE), crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X), polypropylene (PP), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) and
unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U).
NOTE 1 For the purpose of this document, crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) as well as adhesives are to be considered
as thermoplastic materials, and polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT) is to be considered as
polyethylene (PE).
This document is applicable to piping systems used for the conveyance under pressure of cold water (up to
approximately 20 °C) for drinking. It is also applicable to piping systems for the conveyance of water (up to
and including 40 °C) for general purposes.
It applies where special functional requirements are needed.
NOTE 2 As an example, the different pipe layers can provide information on colour, barrier and mechanical properties,
according to the intended application.

The multilayer pipes can include polymeric or metallic layers which may have several purposes including the
ability to withstand the pressure.
For the purpose of this document, multilayer pipes are classified in two construction groups as defined in 3.2.
For these definitions, adhesives are not considered as stress-bearing layers.
The pipe manufacturer shall declare the construction group of the multilayer pipe.
4.2 Reference product standard
The pipe manufacturer shall declare the reference product standard applicable to his product, as listed in
Annex A.
4.3 PN Range
PN values shall be selected from the following PN range: PN 6; PN 6,3; PN 8; PN 10; PN 12,5; PN 16; PN 20;
PN 25.
Above PN 25, other PN values may be used following the Renard R 10 series.
National regulations should be taken into account in the selection of the PN value.
